Married and Merry

We Did It!!

My Shoes!

A few months ago I thought I had found my wedding shoes. A while back I decided that I wanted to wear red shoes (or a certain shade of) and they needed to be flat. So when I found these at Old Navy on sale for $5, I scooped them up and thought I was done.

My mother HATED them. And my grandmother called me up asking me why I was wearing bed slippers. I shrugged all that off and decided I would hold my ground.

My mother isn't a pushy lady by any means but she knows how to make her opinion known and I few days ago received an email with a picture of shoes she saw at Macy's,  I really didn't love the picture on their website but the store is walking distance from my apartment so I figured I'd humor her by heading over there to sneak a peak at what she obviously believed was a better choice for me.

Here they are in black

About a year ago, I had thought I might wear a cute pair of Rocket Dogs. You can read about that here. The shoes s at Macy's were also Rocket Dogs and when I saw them in person, I fell in love. So cute! Mom always knows best. And it's even better when they only cost $35!

And the best part is the bottom!

That will make for a cute picture.

So, once again I have my shoes! And my girls do too. That's another story with a little bit of drama but it all worked out and I'm hoping everyone is happy now!

This weekend is my NY bacholorette weekend! I don't know what we're doing but I'm flying there tonight! Very exciting. I also have my first dress fitting tomorrow. Good thing I've got the shoes!

Only 51 days to go!! AHH!

Arriving intact!

Our guests have been receiving our invites over the last three days, right on schedule and all in one piece. I love all the messages I'm receiving from family and friends, even the ones poking fun. I can't wait to receive the RSVPs!

I'll post the invites next week when I know everyone's received them...even though my mom already posted them on Facebook.  She's excited. I am to!!

Yesterday I purchased my rehearsal dinner dress. I was a little anxious about the whole process. (I don't enjoy shopping alone.) The ladies at White House Black Market were really leaning towards this one schnazy dress that was pretty sexy but still elegant. I preferred one with a little more sweetness (which is the one I ultimately bought). I later told my sister that the ladies were just having fun playing dress up with me. It was nice to have so much attention. Now all I need is the perfect shoe. Which one would you have picked??
